"I'm a soon-to-be Master's graduate from a public university majoring in carpentry â" with all that carpentry entails. Of course, it's come time to start job hunting, and while there are a few actual carpentry-type jobs around, I've noticed that a few carpentry jobs would be substantially more convenient for me personally. But this leads me to the question (assuming they would hire me, of course) â" would having carpentry experience hurt my job prospects down the road? Would future employers see that and be less likely to hire me â" or pigeon-hole me into carpentry?"

What Windows 8 is, is Microsoft ticking the boxes:

• Integrated search in UI: Check
• Touch interface: Check
• HTML5 + JavaScript: Check
• Integrated Cloud Services: Check

When I watched the keynote I had a sense of déjà vu because basically Windows 8 is exactly what Ubuntu is supposed to be.

Cool.

Can I hook up my laptop to it and copy the files? That way, the drive will be worth even more money because I'm duplicating the files.

If everybody does this, then the exhibit can be renamed '5 Trillion Dollars' (pinky on mouth).

Yup. It just looks like "Urbana 3" in my browser.

My webbrowser (Chrome, Win7) makes it looks like Urbana III. I was wondering if he had lived on a planet ...

Because the xbox 360 is a pretty decent piece of hardware sold at a price the fraction of an equivalent PC.

Why? This video is already full-length. It has a beginning, a middle and an end.

Quake3 is hands down the best arena shooter out there and I don't think anything will replace it ever.

Ok, but honestly, how many people have played Prey or are still playing it?

I'm close to the end of "Cryptonomicon" and man what a narcissistic pile of garbage it is. I agree wholeheartedly.

Exactly the point I wanted to make in this thread.

Modern AAA games all seem to be the same because the developers and publishers want to keep playing it safe. Back in the 80s and 90s there was a lot more experimentation going on because it was the frontier of gaming concepts.

If you really want to recapture your childhood and yet have fun with a modern game, play indie titles or Flash games. I personally think that Flash games is where it's at. There is an AMAZING amount of experimentation going on in that space.

In about 1 year time there will be live streaming services like Gakai and OnLive which will stream the images through fiber optics straight onto your tv. You will not need a physical console in your living room.

I highly recommend writing IronPython scripts and having them regular run using the Windows Task Scheduler. This has worked remarkably well for us.

I got laughed at the first time I suggested it, but now my IronPython scripts are well in demand for such tasks.

Can anyone explain what all the fuss is about ?
